How can I upload digital video from a HDD camcorder to iMac Intel?

I bought a Sony DCR SR100 camcorder with 30 gig HD, and the software that comes with it is Windows only, and the Mac software that they refer you to on the internet says "not Intel Core compatible"
So get this - the online support guy from Sony says to get a digital to analog conversion card to load the video thru the AV jacks. I reminded him that I'm starting with digital video in MPEG2 on the camera's hard drive - which is essentially an external hard drive. Converting to analog didn't sound right.
So there is an easy, no-brainer way to do this I'm sure (that is I hope)
Thanks a lot for your help,

iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Sony DCR SR100 HD camcorder 30 gig (nice!)

The problem (I discovered) is that the files are "muxed" which means that the audio and video are somehow intermixed, so they need to be converted into a standard that iMovieHD can read, like "DV"
There is a shareware called MPEG STREAMCLIP that converts video into other things. I tested it and it does work. I just need to figure out the most efficient way to import, convert and open in iMovie.

I think it is universal which is cool.
I am curious about the workstation that you mentioned to run windows software. Where can I find that?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

    how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

    How do I delete photos from my Photo Stream in iCloud?
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices."

    how can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

    Did you backup your device after you took the video but before you deleted it?  If so, restore your device with that backup.  If not, then there's no way to retrieve that video.

  • How can we transform a video from progressive to interlaced with final cut?

    How can we transform a video from progressive (720x1080 50p) to interlaced (PAL) with final cut pro???????
    The video is taken with Sony EX3

    Hi Nick
    Sorry but your first link says +"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."+ ... but tell me, are you viewing these interlaced encodes yourself on an interlaced monitor (eg are you burning them to disc and viewing on a TV) as they are meant to be seen, or are you just playing them back from file on your (progressive) computer display?
    By the way, I did manage to download your source file and encoded it here. Looks ok to me ... in a addition to the instruction above, I also changed the Field Dominance in the Encoder > Video Format tab to Top First (it defaulted to progressive due to the progressive source file).
    Let me know if that helps

  • Question: can't upload our video from flash pro cc - HELP??

    "We used the publish command in Flash pro cc and found the saved html, SWA, Quicktime and FLA versions of the document/animation it saved on our computer, but when we uploaded, these versions either didn't work, or only uploaded with video or audio.  We don't have Quicktime.  How can we upload this video? The solutions I find online are so extremely complex.  I'm just a teacher and I need this video my 12 yr old helped me create for my middle schoolers asap!!!  Please help a poor English teacher navigate the tech world?"

    This is the Flash Player forum; you should ask in the Flash Pro forum.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.
